Monthly Sci-Fi Challenge for March.
There's something strange about your significant other lately... After living together for two years, you're noticing quirky, if not bizarre behavior, in speech patterns, love-making, humor... You're not a paranoid or distrusting person, but it's built up to where you quietly follow your person out the door and lag behind them on instinct. They round the corner, take a sharp left into an alley, and vanish, literally. You run to the alley, completely disbelieving this is real. As you place your hand into the threshold of the alley, it is a hand no more. You pull back, and it's just fine, still your hand. You have no choice but to follow your love into this place, wherever it leads, whatever it is that keeps them and lets them back in. Let us know what's there, but more importantly, why. Winner is decided by likes, and will receive a crisp $10.00 -Give us the tour and reason.
Corridor station ideas
create a station to go with tidal,
background:
Beyond this grim sector lies a dark void, stretching endlessly into the unknown. However, amidst this darkness, a carefully maintained corridor. Three stations known as the jump point keepers guarded a corridor that spans thousands of light-years, bridging the gap between galaxies.
Spanning the length of the corridor, three stations serve as vital checkpoints, ensuring the safe passage of those who dare to traverse this treacherous pathway. These stations face countless dangers lurking in the depths of the corridor.

Girl Meets World
A show released on the Disney Channel on 2014(wow)-- much younger than I'd thought. Anyway, I'm sure plenty of people expected, perhaps desired, the story of an alien girl literally meeting the world. So, let's do that today.
Use one of two prompts.
1. Lucas is our alien, coming into the lives of two friends Riley and Maya from Texas under mysterious circumstances and certainly has an-- off feeling about him, nice as he is. In teaching Lucas how to blend Riley, Maya, and Farkle(conspiracy nut optional) experience and learn about the world in ways they'd never dared before.
2. More directly, Riley is an alien innocently curious and clueless of Earth that has transplanted herself into the lives of beloved Boy Meets World sweethearts Cory and Topenga. Modifying memories and the like but she hadn't had enough information on the friends Maya and Farkle.

Take Me to Your Leader
You land on another planet, Earth-like. As your hatch opens and the ramp lowers to the ground, you exit slowly, cautiously. There is a crowd of humanoid beings, and you also notice that the flora and fauna are the same as Earth. You quickly realize that there is convergent evolution here. A selected representative ascends the ramp to meet you halfway. Your research has prepared you well, and you say in their language, "Take me to your leader." He holds out his hand and leads you to a field, past the crowds, and presents you to a [animal of your choice]. Amazingly, it can talk! It says in perfect English, "Hello, Earthman." Describe your conversation with this [your chosen animal]. Bonus for including quirky rhetoric peculiar to this animal

does anyone here like star wars?
I've recently become a little obsessed with the Star Wars universe. I'd love to hear about everyone's favorite characters, favorite plotlines, hot takes and more (please don't spoil for TCW/Rebels because I've just started it but everything else is fair game. I haven't seen the sequels but don't really plan on watching them).
